Hi. I'm new to this site and just made my decision today. After struggling with weight my whole life, and realizing that I will struggle for the rest of my life, I decided to stop struggling. I have generations of women in my family who have battled weight their whole lives. It is now time for transformation and change! The next few months will be filled with nutritionist appointments, insurance paperwork, doctor consultations, blood tests, butterflies (I'm sure) and then finally in August I will have surgery. I look forward to posting before and after pictures. Nice to meet everyone! Christi
